He doe indeed push it, doesn’t change the fact that he gets penalized for things others walks away from.

The problem with Lewis is that he is simply reckless and thinks entire track is his own. Stewards got the best data, like huge, all camera angles etc, like Mansel said they see nowdays everything. For what he done on Monaco and then his interview, his point of view actually was insane. Eddie Jordan says “pls Lewis don’t change your racing style” Driving reckless, blindfolded, and simply stupid is not a racing style Eddie. Alonso, Button, Vettel they have unique awesome style, but for sure not Hamilton what he is doing on track it is not a style it is pure mayhem.

@Philly you kind of nailed it.
In my opinion, Hamilton is today’s spoiled kid of F1 by many tv hosts (BBC especially, their home boy, and unlike Button, more likely to bring ratings, he brings the hip-hop stars to the pits).
Why was Hamilton most penalized driver this season? Maybe because he was involved in most incidents. Is there a conspiracy of stewards/other drivers against him, or simply put his driving style is prone to incidents.
Like others have said, he acts like the other drivers should step aside every time he comes, and even Button isn’t doing it anymore.

Gunning for Lewis is a think little harsh.

They have a job to do… they have way more cameras and data than we can imagine and they will investigate everything that needs to be.

A lot more investigation goes on than we know also. If Maldonado had clipped a HRT then we probably wouldn’t have heard about it until the grid drop and that still would have been a quick mention. As it was Lewis it resulted in front page news…

Just the way it goes. Lewis needs to keep out of trouble. Last time I spoke with him at Silverstone the only thing he seemed bothered about was getting the support of the crowd back!

@Philly You are totally wrong. If you think Lewis intentionally drives into people you are wrong. Maldonado did that, Lewis never has, and never will.

Can’t you see? Everyone on the grid knows that Hamilton is the fastest driver, and the best overtaker out there. They know he is the 2nd coming of Senna. That’s why when they see him on track, they’re all eager to prove themselves; and show that they have what it takes to race with him, keep up with him, and battle with him. But they know Hamilton’s talent will win out; and this leads them to use moves that are overly aggressive and they wouldn’t normally try; which due to their lack of talent, ends up in contact.
